Win Tickets to RFT's "Best of St. Louis" Party This Thursday

​The rapture didn't happen as predicted (twice) this year. But that doesn't mean you can't party like -- as Michael Stipe might say -- "it's the end of the world as we know it..."

What's that you add? You say you "feel fine?" Well, try telling that to your aching head come Friday morning after Riverfront Times' 2011 "Best of St. Louis" party.

This year's extravaganza is Thursday at the City Museum, and we want you and your friends to come partake in the festivities to include performances from Pretty Little Empire, DJ Mahf, the Old
Lights DJ Set and The Improv Trick. Oh, and lots of food and drink.

Tickets to the party to end all parties can be had for $15 dollars at the door ($10 if you bring a new/used book to donate to Goodwill).

Or win four free tickets now by telling us in 100 words or less why you and your friends are the best people to attend this year's "Best Of" soiree. Leave your answer in the comment section. We'll announce a winner tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. One caveat: You must be able to swing by the RFT offices in the Delmar Loopto claim your tickets before 5:30 p.m. this Thursday.

If I win the free tickets to the event, which I plan to attend already, the feeling of euphoria from saving an insignificant amount of money will cause me to read every single RFT from now on, which I do already.

I'll get right to it. I need the tickets so my friends can get our grooves on and so I can win the iPad which I will use for world domination. Then we shall truly see if the Rapture does, indeed come. Mwahahahahah!

I can make my case quite easily: I am the commenter that gave you Tammy Chapman on a silver platter. Go back and check the original story. I single handedly brought regional acclaim to the RFT while bringing down a would-be gubernatorial goober. Also, I went to high school with you. Our '91 assistant principal was Debbie Cocco.

Party shenanigans Chad failed to mention: Tammy Chapman humping a brass pole. Sarah Fenske emerging from a big cake wearing pasties. Chad reading the prelude to his 14th volume of articles on Peter Kinder. (A must read.) And Nick Phillips waxing poetically about Kelsey Whipple's inability to wax poetically. Such joy and merriment there will be watching people puke under last year's Christmas tree.

My friends and I are always looking forward to the yearly best of issue/news because we like to try new places that are awesome rather than continuely go to the usual spots that we always visit. Without the issue we wouldn't have heard of a lot of these businesses, enjoyed their food/drinks/atmospheres nor enjoyed our times at those establishments.

Um, well, I have no friends, so I would only need one ticket, therefore leaving three more up for grabs. Not to mention the fact that I need to get out more (as indicated by the fact that I'm a frequent DailyRFT commenter.)
